Philippines Travel Guide
The Philippines is a country in southeast Asia, surrounded
by the Pacific Ocean. To the north of the Philippines is
Taiwan, where as to the west you will come to Vietnam. The
country has a population of nearly 100 million, making it
the 12th most populous country in the world. The largest
city is Quezon City, however the capital is Manila.
In the country the official languages are Filipino and
English. As well as these a number of regional dialects are
spoken, such as Waray and Tagalog. The official currency is
the Filipino Peso and the country uses Philippine Standard
Time, which is eight hours ahead of GMT.
In 1521 the modern history of the Philippines started when
explorer Ferdinand Magellan arrived and claimed the islands
as property of Spain. The first European settlements were
formed in 1565 and in 1571 the Spanish established Manila as
the capital of the Spanish East Indies. After this the
country was administered directly from Madrid and the
country blossomed, with trade introduced from all corners of
the world.
One of the biggest aspects of Filipino culture is sports,
with dozens of different sports being played across the
islands. The most popular sport in the Philippines is
basketball, which is played both at an amateur and
professional level, with the PBA being the highest tier of
the Filipino game. Many Filipino players have gone on to
play in the United States.
The climate in the Philippines is dependant on which island
you are on, with there being four distinct types of weather;
Type I is where there are two seasons of dry and wet
weather, Type II is where there’s no dry season and rain
falls heavily from November to January, Type III is where
seasons are less pronounced and Type IV is when rain is
evenly distributed throughout the year. Despite all of this
the average temperature across all of the islands is 26C,
with high humidity.
